Hi, I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Provisional Psychologist offering specialist assessments and therapy for adults. People I see tend to have tried other approaches but have not made much change. They tend to speak about repeating familiar patterns in relationships, self-sabotage, feeling empty/disconnected, setting themselves up to fail, confusion about their sense of identity, problems with intimacy, and childhood trauma. I have completed further extensive training for working with issues that frequently impact the LGBTQIA+ community (e.g. coming out, gender dysphoria, non-monogamy, substance misuse, and grief).
With over 10 years of clinical experience, I have developed an approach which explores, identifies and modifies the unconscious factors contributing towards distress. My approach is best suited to those who want to get to the root cause of the problem. I offer therapy online/in-person to individuals, couples and multi-partnered people across the lifespan.
It can be really daunting to meet a new therapist and begin to explore the more painful aspects of our existence. In acknowledgement of this, my approach is paced and I prioritise building a safe, non-judgemental and emotionally supportive therapy relationship. Feel free to reach out so that we can discuss whether we might be a good fit.

I have come to specialise in long-term depth-oriented psychotherapy. This is often indicated for those who have tried other approaches (e.g. CBT), but have not managed to make the changes they want. My approach aims to work at the level of the root cause, rather than the symptom.

My clinical experience has allowed me to develop an understanding of what gets in the way of psychological growth. My approach begins with a comprehensive assessment followed by weekly psychological therapy (either once or twice per week). Clients usually see a deepened understanding of themselves, an increased capacity to break unhelpful cycles, and a gradual receding of symptoms.
